Most memorable case?
‘The best case I’ve had the pleasure of working on so far is a case in which our client (a clothing company) constantly had to deal with different parties who used our client’s product photos and thus infringed her copyright, causing her to suffer damages. What made the case fun was that for each infringer, in close consultation with the client, a new strategy had to be devised each time to stop the infringement and get the infringer’s damages compensated. This allowed me to combine knowledge with creativity.
